G C
I was standing in the grocery store line
D
The one they marked express
G C
When this woman came though with about 25 things
D
And I said don't you know that more is less
G C
She said this world is moving so fast
D
I just get more behind everyday
G C
And every mornin' when I make my coffee
D
I can't believe my life's turned out this way
All I could say was
G
Love's the only house
C
big enough for all the
D
pain in the world
G
Love's the only house
C D
big enough for all the pain
He was walking by the other day
And I said ?Hey baby...how you been??
Yeah, I got me a little girl now
and she's 4 years old and she's got her daddy's little grin
You only wanted what you can't have
And baby you can't have me now
I gave my heart to another
Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father
And we're a family and we got each other
And I found out the hard way that
Chorus
You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river and you see a ghetto there
An' We got children walking around with guns
And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean, white shirt,
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walking around in a culture of darkness
Living together alone...all I could say is
Chorus
Bridge:
Em C(add9)
And I can't explain it, and I can't understand
A7 D
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand
Somewhere 'cross the parking lot, some bands playin' out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon
Senorita can't quit crying, baby's due now any day
Don Juan left, got sick of trying, no one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store and She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk
But I don't have any money I said Hey I'll cover you honey
Cause the pain's gotta go somewhere
Yeah the pains gotta go someplace...
So come on down to my house
Don't ya know that
Repeat Chorus
